What is Behavioural Science?

Behavioural science brings together many disciplines to study human behaviour, such as psychology, economics, and biology. Topics of interest include behavioural and experimental economics, cognitive science, judgement and decision making, and the application of economic methods to social phenomena not traditionally included within economics. We examine these topics using quantitative methods, such as experiments, dataset analyses, modelling, and simulations.
